256bit error correction built in, compression, easy resizing- looks like killer filesystem.

yeah ZFS is one of the features that keeps my eye on Solaris/OpenSolaris/Nexenta/Belenix/Schillix etcetrix.

Zones is another interesting one.

The question is going to be A.) When will BSD support it, B.) When will Microsofts cash cow no longer be a top dog?

I'm no file system exbert, but from basic reading I did last year ext3 and ntfs looked good. But this thing looks awesome.

If I thought it'd support my hardware I'd try Solaris Express. I've always wanted to try Solaris and HP-UX.
